Jamaica Bans Preaching on Buses
Makes for a hell of a commute
Jamaica's public transport authorities have banned lay preachers from addressing commuters in public buses.
Jamaica is a predominantly Christian country, but many passengers have complained about the noise and disturbance.
Drivers have been instructed to politely warn religious ministers that they are no longer allowed to evangelise fellow passengers.
